They actually come in your home to make sure you are storing your gun properly?

That's crazy.

I agree, That's crazy.... must go something like this.........oh yeah, sure come on in and take inventory of my firearms,rifles,shotguns ammo and while you're here can I get you a cup of tea and a vegamite sandwich.(No Offense to you, you're just the messenger) That's not the way it's going down here in the states. We are not a gun culture, We are a culture that loves freedom, and that's never gonna die, no matter who knocks on our doors.

No, it's sane. Firearms should be stored correctly. Actually, it's not like that. The police are nice about it. They are actually nice about it. Just making sure people are not being irresponsible with their firearms.

To allow someone to be capable of forcing their way in to your house is the most ridiculous thing. All in the name to make sure you are not guilty of not storing your gun correctly. What is it with you Aussies and feeling that people are guilty until proven innocent.
